Chick-Fil-A Shattered Sales Records On 'Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day'

Throngs of supporters piled in to Chick-fil-As across the nation yesterday for Mike Huckabee's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. The restaurants were jam-packed all day.

In fact, the day was so successful that it looks like Chick-fil-A set a one-day sales record with plenty of time to spare.

"It's gone beyond anything I could have imagined," Huckabee told FOX News. "Every one of (the stores) that I know have reported record, historic sales yesterday ... a lot of the stores ran out of chicken before the end of the day."

Chick-fil-A president and COO Dan Cathy, whose comments about gay marriage sparked the controversy that led to Huckabee's event, confirmed to his friend Pastor Rick Warren that Chick-fil-A indeed set a record yesterday.
